Apartments to be built on the site of the old police house in Lahti

Lahti's old police house.
The former police building in Lahti, Salininkatu, in December 2022.

There is no need to completely demolish the police station and the office building.

A couple of hundred new apartments are planned on the site of the former police building in Lahti.

The former police station and office building in the city centre will not be completely demolished, as the building is in better condition than expected and its frame can be preserved

According to the zoning plans, the site of the police building will be occupied by 5-7 storey residential blocks.

The police moved from Loviisankatu to the new police building built in Hennala four years ago.

The Lahti Urban Environment Board will discuss the site plan change proposal from residential apartment buildings to the plots of the police and agency building on Wednesday, December 14.
